Qualify based on Training
Apply for the Recognized Training program to qualify for your Alberta Journeyperson Certificate if:
- you have completed training programs that Alberta recognizes toward qualification for journeyperson certification, and
- you have completed any additional on-the-job work experience required.
Visit the profile for your trade to see if this program is available in your trade and what the training and work experience requirements are.
- Find the Trade Qualifier row under Program Information, and review the Recognized Training requirements.
- This program is available in just 12 Alberta trades without government-administered apprenticeship programs available.
- Certification or participation in this program is not to work in and/or learn the trade.
- However, completion of the Trades Qualifier – Recognized Training program is evidence that you have the skills, competencies and standards to work in Alberta.

To apply, you must:
- be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident,
- have completed the required training and work experience for the trade you are apply for (listed in Trade Profile), and
- have up-to-date contact information for employers who can verify your work experience.
